He was the director of the first Central Institute of Statistics of Romania, and member
of the Romanian Academy. He was also a member of the International Institute of
Sociology, member of various committees of the League of Nations, member of the
International Institute of Statistics, and vice-president of the Royal Society of
Heredity. A former Rockefeller Foundation fellow, he received financial support from this
foundation for the organization of the first demographic census of Romania. In 1948 he
established himself in New York and became politically involved. His work with the "Iuliu
Maniu" Foundation and the Romanian National Committee greatly supported Romanian
political refugees.

He worked for the Institute for Food Research of Stanford University, where he
contributed to the study
The Agricultural Economy of the Danubian Countries:
1935-1945.
Later, he became the Counselor for the US Bureau of Census in
Washington.

His studies, "The Population of Romania" (1937) and "The Structure of Evolution of the
Rural Population" are among the most famous Romanian demographic studies. Also, his paper
"Regional Development of the Jewish Population in Romania" is considered among the most
reliable statistical data regarding the Jewish population of Romania.
